Gambling with Ground Forces: The 2015 Defense Budget and The 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review by Travis Sharp, Center for a New American Security Policy Brief

Abstract: The president’s FY 2015 defense budget released today finances its bet on technological superiority by gambling with ground forces according to Travis Sharp, an adjunct fellow at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS).  Mr. Sharp notes, “By betting on technology over size, the FY 2015 budget intensifies the debate over whether to prioritize men or material as defense spending declines.”

Mr. Sharp writes, “Prioritizing technology over size has a strategic logic and conforms with historical practice.” However, he argues that focusing on high-tech modernization without simultaneously implementing policies to regenerate ground forces quickly should a crisis erupt constitutes strategic negligence of the highest order.

Modernizing technology without also investing in regenerating the ground force is risky. In the event of a crisis, this might prove to be a fatal oversight. If we want to keep our country and its people secure, we need to take a moderate stance. The same holds true for my experience at 7 Bit Casino 7-bit.casino: I need to have a level head. I need a bit of both luck and planning to have any chance of success. In this way, I can increase my potential for success.

Gambling has been a part of human history since ancient times. But, in the 21st century, the stakes for gambling have become much higher with the introduction of ground forces. Ground forces can be used to carry out offensive military operations, which can result in devastating consequences if used improperly. So, the question arises: Is gambling 릴게임 with ground forces a risk worth taking? This blog seeks to answer this question and explore the implications of gambling with ground forces.

I, too, think that gambling is okay. But I think that if you play, then only with real money. I found a very good review on this German site https://casinostreber.com/echtgeld-casino/, where reviews are made just for such online casinos. There are a lot of important information that will be useful to both beginners and experienced players. Also on this site there are many other useful articles, I recommend it.

Yeah, gambling is an interesting way to spend your time. I usually play casino games online at my favorite casino in Australia. Earlier, I liked to play at land based casinos, but websites are more comfortable.

Gambling is cool and I say this without exaggeration. I personally prefer poker. It is not difficult if there are truthful tips for successful poker. I find them here, but you can try searching for yourself. But I am responsible for my recommendations, so do not doubt my words.

To be honest, I have no idea what I would do without games during quarantine. After all, they closed everything and it was impossible to go anywhere. For myself, then I opened a new world on the Internet. I first gambled and then decided to try gambling ( read more ). Online casinos are currently on the rise thanks to the interest from new players due to the prevailing situation around the world.
